LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - According to Star Magazine, Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg fainted at the Gen Art Styles Fashion Show on Tuesday night in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood. An insider who was standing next to the actress when the incident occurred tells the magazine, "One minute Michelle was talking, and the next thing I know I hear a thump and Michelle was on the ground. It was really freaky."

Trachtenberg's agent and publicist were standing next to her when she blacked out and immediately assisted her. A party staffer fetched a bottle of water and a cup of orange juice for the 22 year old actress, and another ran to a local restaurant to get a basket of bread. Another insider told the magazine, "Michelle drank both beverages and hate half of the basket...Michelle kept saying was she has no idea what caused her to faint, especially because she only [fainted] one other time many years ago."

Trachtenberg went outside for 15 minutes to get some fresh air, and rejoined the party for another 45 minutes, where an eyewitness says Trachtenberg acted as if it never happened, "Michelle was really cool about the incident and was smiling a few minutes after it happened."

Trachtenberg did not sustain any injuries from her fall, and later that night, she was spotted up at 1Oak at a party for Kanye West.
